Hello! My name is Shanta Lakraj, and I proudly call Demerara 01 Mon Desire Canal No 2 home. As a housewife, I cherish the simple yet fulfilling life that our vibrant culture offers. From sharing meals with my family to tending to our little garden, every day is a reminder of the warmth and richness of Guyanese life. One thing I find particularly amusing is how the world sometimes pronounces our beloved country—can you believe some say "Guy-ona"? It brings a smile to my face!
Growing up surrounded by the lush landscapes of Essequibo Islands-West Demerara, I have developed a deep appreciation for our local delicacies. Whether it’s whipping up a pot of pepper pot or enjoying a plate of cassa-reep (sure, it’s a bit of a challenge for some to say!), I love sharing these flavors with my loved ones. Food Dip is one of my favorite Guyanese YouTubers, and I often find myself trying out the recipes he shares. Our culinary heritage is something I hold dear, and I enjoy passing these traditions down to my children.
Being a part of the Guyanese diaspora is an experience filled with pride and connection. I often find myself reminiscing about our local landmarks, like the bustling market at Lower Pom River and the serene sights of Mission St Monica. Whether it’s connecting with friends from Mississauga or sharing stories with others in our community, I believe that every conversation brings us closer to home. As we navigate life here and abroad, I am committed to keeping our culture alive and thriving.
